Julie trained with Tony Buzan creator of Mind Maps, and is a Licensed instructor in both Mind Mapping and iMind-Mapping 9©. Her 25 years' experience as an English language trainer (CELTA), working with some of the leading Fortune 500 companies in France as well as the school system allows her to bring to group workshops, or one-to-ones, a real understanding of business needs as well as a passion to help individuals explore and enhance their full creative potential. Julie's goal is to bring creative, solution focussed thinking, with the help of Mind Mapping and iMind Mapping, into French corporate business and the general public, using it in one-to-one coaching sessions as well as groups.

She has been mapping since 2004 and this has enabled her to provide over 8000 hours of individual and corporate group training in presentations, negotiations, pronunciation cultural awareness and more recently iMindMapping

“I had heard of Mind Mapping before Julie’s workshop, but did not realise the potential it could have. As a small, but rapidly growing business, I was looking for ways to develop the team. We are all so busy; I wanted to find a tool to help everyone work productively and more strategically. It was great to go through the process with Julie and see what ideas came out of it in the end.”

“This workshop gave the team a new, creative way of working and it made us all realise how much work we have done this year! Since the training, I have been using the technique to compartmentalise tasks. I also use it to draft reviews, plan team meetings and map out new directions for the company. The team have clearly seen the benefits and come next year I want to start using it for more strategic processes, as I think it will be really helpful.”

"This is a brilliant technique and the trainer was just fantastic, providing a dynamic course transferring some new skills which will help me become more synthetic and able to capture more information quickly when needed. I’ll be using the software to deliver presentations to my team and clients and also for project management.

This technique is useable immediately. I highly recommend Julie’s services"

"Excellent course! It was a very enjoyable and productive learning day which will help me approach new concepts, with a holistic two-dimensional approach. I can use the technique to map new projects coupling it with an Internal Awareness campaign so that people can grasp maps fully."


What is it?


A Mind Map is a visual thinking tool involving a distinct combination of imagery, colour and visual/ spatial arrangement. It draws on all cognitive functions, especially memory, learning, creativity and analysis.

The technique literally ‘maps’ out your thoughts, using associations, connections and triggers to stimulate further ideas. They extract your ideas from your head into something visible and structured.



Who can benefit?

Mind Mapping can be used by individuals and teams across entire organisations for collaborative work, to help optimise, plan and execute successful projects. Thanks to this training, you will see a great improvement in your creativity, inspiration and personal or professional development.



Objectives of Mind Mapping

The use of Mind map with iMindMap ® 8 Ultimate can be more effective than other brainstorming and linear note-taking methods for a number of reasons:
